A Pest With No Boundaries
We Care Animal Removal understands the complication of pests in Fort Lauderdale. Those pests, however, aren’t limited to insects and rats. Raccoons are also a nuisance, and such is true regarding an invasive lizard that’s being found all over South Florida. Lizards aren’t a hazard by natural standards, but when they overpopulate, they will end up in your yard. The boundaries that these jumping and running lizards have are non-existent, yet help is available.
Invasive Iguanas and What to Know
These lizards, though often kept as pets, have become a major nuisance due to overpopulation. The Green Iguana is what homeowners in South Florida and Fort Lauderdale encounter. What most might think to be a medium-sized lizard can, with tail and all, reach up to 7 feet in length. Their colors do vary though they’re referred to as green. From gray to orange with spots of red, their scales even come wholly brown at times. The spikes on their backs and long tail make spotting them easy. Their excessive numbers leave you with no option but to see them around.
Obstacles Created by the Green Iguana
Any fruits and flowers you have in the yard will be eaten up; more lizards will come if your plants are appealing to their appetites. When they make a yard home, you’ll find them burying into the soil, ruining the terrain. The labyrinth of tunnels they create can even turn a concrete sidewalk into an uneven plane with cracks and clear deformities. What makes these lizards even more challenging is the fact that they are nonnative and invasive. They’re not from South Florida. You nor the natural environment of Florida can adapt fast enough to accommodate these lizards.
The Cautions of Self-Eradication
In South Florida, people are exposed to risks. Contrary to popular belief, shooting them will get the police called. The excrement of iguanas can also create an ongoing hazard for humans via salmonella. These animals don’t show a history of natural aggression when encountering humans, however, they do have sharp nails on their hands. As for measuring that danger, iguanas can bite and whip their tails at you when feeling provoked. You need safe handling.
Professional Removal Specialists
There is a science to it, and trying to do it yourself may cost you more in the end. Not only are their laws set regarding how these pests must be removed, but your errors could result in them feeling even more at home on your property. We use a special pellet gun that is the only legal way to kill them. Since they are considered invasive animals, we don’t capture and remove them. This method is used and it is the only proven method so it must be used. Consider working with a professional and asking them specifically about:
Applications in Commercial and Residential Areas
